Advertisement Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Hi Overgaard, Take a look here Safari M8.2. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
TimF Posted January 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 24, 2009 Yup, saw this last w/e. Ivor asked me not to mention it here due to a weird NDA (!). When I got home that day, I saw that someone else here has posted links to the pictures anyway. As for the camera, there's already been a "Outraged of Tunbridge Wells" type thread started by you-know-who. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_lir Posted January 24, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 24, 2009 what i don't understand is why not do a limited version of the 28 f2 ASPH in silver with that hood? that i just dont get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bernd Banken Posted January 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 24, 2009 As usual, there is always confusion when Leica introduces products. Last week when the first pics arrived the description of this Safari offer announced a camera with a 1:2 28mm Summicron BUT the pics showed a 28mm Elmarit. Here you ca see another mixup of lenses, names etc.: Leica M8.2 Safari + Summicron 28mm F 2,8 | Fotokonijnenberg Beside this there is a 1:2,8 35mm Summarit Asph spinning around. The catalogue from Photokina shows this and in the new LFI 1/2009, page 64 again this "special item" is mentioned. The productrange of Leica is so immense that it's easy to loose overview....

mr_big Posted January 24, 2009 Share #9 Posted January 24, 2009 I've been wondering when Leica would go after their primary buyer, the collector. People with money who'll never take the camera out of the box, therefore, customer service will never be an issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted January 24, 2009 Share #10 Posted January 24, 2009 I think it looks great, I'd buy it if I could afford it. Where does one buy safari suits and pith helmets these days? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted January 25, 2009 Share #15 Posted January 25, 2009 Disgusting Hell's teeth, is this a sign of Leica wistfully regretting falling out of love with those wretched Parisian handbag makers? A limited edition pile of poo; it's not the kind of prioritising I would have wished for. Please Leica; stop making it easy for people to laugh at you. ..............

stunsworth Posted January 25, 2009 Share #20 Posted January 25, 2009 Where does one buy safari suits and pith helmets these days? You have to buy them directly from the manufacturers. Don't worry if they don't reply straight away. they'll probably be in the jungle taking the pith. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
